We barely scrape a win against olympiakos on our home turf and thats a sign of improvement? I say thats a sign of Pirlo not the formation.

We did batter and dominate them but thats far from a new thing for us. We usually dominate and create a lot of chances that we some how miss the great majority of and then we commit a brain fart and they score against us costing us points.
If you recall the madrid matches or the Galata match in Turin or the previous match with Olympiakos or any of our matches with the minnows, we dominate.. create a few chances.. take very very few of them while they score goals out of nowhere cancelling any previous good work leaving us empty handed or with a stupid draw.
For once we got the result in our favor but even yesterday we almost threw it all away to two cheap goals and a missed penalty.
The same mental problem persists. Wastefulness in attack and free goals from the defense. I am happy we got the 3 points but I am not confident in the team's mentality at all.

I do agree that we have a complex in CL football that we haven't been able to shake for a very long time. But that was the first time (since Chelsea away) we came back from behind in an important game. You would hope this would be a turnaround for us in the CL, but the away game in Malmo makes me nervous.

I have to disagree with you. the formation change clearly benifited us. You could clearly see improvment in our general play, build up, short passing, positioning and hell even crossing !
The team felt relaxed in the attacking third and we actually created some chances from a constructed team play and not by some magical pirlo pass or by luck. Also we had 2 good chances from crosses one from either side wich has rarley happened before (because the WB are forced to face 2 players and find it hard to make a cross).
Even the goals we conceded were from set pieces and they have nothing to do with formation change since the positioning in set peices would not change. We should stick with this formation and with time we will even get better and better with it especially from a defending point of view.
